Fuel tank & fuel line for Osceo Ice Auger
« on: Jan 23, 2015, 11:08 PM »
I have a Osceo Ice auger III 49CC that has not run for about 3-4 years.  The fuel that was in the tank dried up.  When opening the fuel tank cap there was a strong odor like varnish.  Now when putting in fresh gas it does not appear to be flowing through the fuel line.  Where can I get a new fuel tank & fuel line?

Fuel tank I would just clean fuel line auto parts store. BTW my dad runs same auger starts in 1 to 3 pulls every time and I believe its from the 80s. Strike master bought them out so you could try to call them for a tank but I doubt they will have it.

I'd also do a carb job just to be safe, the seals are probably shot.

  That was my first power auger. Worked well until they poisoned our fuel with ethanol. When you get it running I would consider a ethanol free fuel like Tru-fuel I believe it's called. Good luck with the old girl and let us know how you make out.
